Vegan Chocolate Mousse

This chocolate mousse is made with only four ingredients and can be made vegan as long as you use non-dairy chocolate chips. Instead of using egg whites, we are using aquafaba, which is the liquid from a can of chickpeas. This whips up just the same way. If you’d like to use the chickpeas, click here for a hummus recipe!

Ingredients

  • The liquid from one can of chickpeas (aquafaba)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice
  • ½ cup melted chocolate chips (vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the aquafaba with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Melt chocolate using a double boiler and stir frequently. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly. 
  3. Fold in the melted chocolate, sugar, and vanilla. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Distribute into bowls to serve (makes 3-4 servings) and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  5. Serve with fruit or whipped cream on top. Use this recipe to make some coconut whipped cream to add to the top (also vegan).
